I was trying for PG

[Mandysg1]

Exactly, which is why Sky is supposed to tell me what to type. I'm certainly not gonna write it!

It was meant as a joke, nothing to do with your typing or writing skills

[LilFerret]

It's not how fast you are...it's quality that counts

*spits out kool aid*

I was trying for PG

Oh...yes, well...you may have been trying...but down here, in the gutter, all bets are off...

[Dr. Daniel Jackson]

the long hair kinda bugs me.

your like mckay, he liked short haired blondes, hahaha...

They tried too hard with Cameron integrating him into the show to have much time for Sam but in season ten they did better and there were several Sam centered episodes.

this is going off our sam centric topic, but i've felt that the inclusion and obsession with vala is what hurt the show more than anything else. and then having her almost glued, story wise, to only daniel made it all the worse.

i had issues with mitchell having the team instead of sam, but i got over it because mitchell greatly improved and *fit in* in the stargate structure. it's vala that i felt seriously damaged the integrity of the show, because she just never should have been a regular, let alone on the team, to begin with. there's just some characters that should be recurring, because to bring them in full time and having to create a 'realistic' reason for them there... i didn't see vala being out of character, i saw everyone putting up with her being out of character. oy...

yeah, they improved vala too, but she still had such a central role in the only storyline going on in s9/10, and the only other character to reap that storyline was daniel. why'd they write it like that?

yeah, i guess it's still a sore spot.

The long dark hair makes her look 10 years older imo.

You might be right, I think maybe the change of look and character might be the real reason I find her more attractive

[Celandine]

I didn't either in fact

Spoiler:

When Shep said, I didn't go after one of my team once and I won't do it again I thought of Wier and his inablity to save her from the replicators this time he had a job to rescue Telya as far as it diminishing Sam it didn't, she was overseeing the rescue of Sheppard and the others. I saw concern that Teyla would be lost if they didn't go after her now while they had the opportunity. The same concern any teamate would have while another was in enemy hands. As for Keller I finally saw her being more human when she let Sheppard go and tried to patch him up so that he would be able to complete the mission even Carter wasn't fooled she knew Sheppard had somehow convinced Keller similar to SG-1 that Janet often let them go injured despite her wishing they wouldn't she let them go as well. Sheppard would have tried to go and Keller at least realized she could give him a fighting chance by helping him. Also any shippiness was squashed in my opinion when Telya introduced her team to the baby's father there was real affection between them that was visible and noticable a happy moment in the midst of everything.

Sorry, no disrespect meant here, but could you please enlighten me on an ep that you can think of where Janet let an injured person under her care go back out into the field on another mission? I've racked my brain and can't think of a one. My impression of her has always been that she was very 'hard core' and even fiercely protective when it comes to any of her patients. She's also very bright. Just can't see her doing something as stupid as this...least voluntarily.

I loved Vala in S 9 and 10. With Jack gone I felt she added a much needed comic relief and personally was glad for it as it diverted my attention away from the fact that Sam was playing second fiddle to Cam when we all know she should of *and* could of lead the team all by her lonesome.

[Tittamiire]

Wow you've all been busy hehe and I haven't seen S&R, I've even been good and not read the spoilers *runs round in tiny spoiler free circles*

Belated welcome Stephanie. I hope you have a good time here

I don't think Sam ever revolved around Jack, not even in season 4 (of SG-1) when much was made of Sam and Jack's relationship. She may have been subordinate to Jack, but she was never subservient to him.

In seasons 9 and 10, Sam lost her command to an inexperienced officer. Her opinion was dismissed more than once, and for the most part, she served only as a source of technobabble when she wasn't merely part of the background. Yes, there were exceptions, but on the whole, I think the character was treated poorly.

We may have been watching the same show, but we have very different interpretations of what we saw.

Totally...I'm not very articulate, but I agree with everything you just said.

i look forward to a show that is run by someone that doesn't seem to get their definition of humor from benny hill or American Pie

Yes! Gah...sometimes they go for humour when it's just innapropriate. Its as if they always think 'how can we make this funny?' and no one ever asks 'should this be funny?' Then there's just dumb jokes. I like intelligent humour and stuff that makes me think. I do also like toilet jokes, but in really small doses.

She's also very bright. Just can't see her doing something as stupid as this...least voluntarily.

What always intrigued me about Janet was that she carried a lot of clout (especially with Jack. I swear he was petrified, in a good way, of that woman...), and garnished respect, even though her status as CMO did not outweigh the fact that she was only a Major. Jack listened to her, when he could have easily pulled rank.

I just can't see that ever happening with Keller. I think she's too afraid of stepping on toes, and making a bad impression, to demand her patients put their health and well-being first.

All the more reason I wish Sam were still there (hey...how was THAT for a segway!?) Keller needs a strong role-model, and I'm not sure Teyla is patient enough to deal with her...

[jonos101]

both are hot imo

Spoiler:

you might wanna check out this thread

wondering how long it would take u to fiind this thread

And yes, Amanda Tapping and Sam Carter are both extremly good looking aka HOT

[jasminaGo]

I don't think the explanation will be 'cut for time'...

Spoiler:

because otherwise Sam's departure just won't make any sense at all...at the end I was just left thinking...'hang on, why is she being replaced?' as I think most of the viewing audience will be, esp after just having led the expedition for a year and doing a great job (as both Shep and Mckay mentioned). Speaking of, the Atlantis crew are going to need an explanation as well...that's, personally, how I think we'll probably get the explanation delivered.

What I'm worried about is that

Spoiler:

the explanation will happen "off-screen", just like Teyla's boyfriend

as soon as i finish writing it, i'm doing an alternate ending to S&R. just...tweaking things a bit

Sweet

Which reminds me...

Spoiler:

What the heck happened to Teyla's boyfriend!?!? They came back and just...nothing...

Is he alive? Is he dead? WTH?
